When it comes to widgets, it seems like most of them are useless little toys and such. But, developer iSlayer thinks otherwise. iSlayer has come out with several incredible widgets over time, but Organized may be his most impressive. Organized is an excellent organization widget that almost looks like something on the iPhone. It has a gorgeous calendar as the main view, with clickable dates. But, below that, there’s a small extension with tabs to choose what you want. You can view a number of Clocks, take or look at Notes, check what Events you have coming up, or add items to/read from your To Do list. Of course, every dimensions-based transformation is beautifully animated with a smooth slide or flip. This is one of the few widgets that I can recommend to anyone.

Rating: 5/5. Why aren’t other widgets this cool?

iStat Pro is an amazing Dashboard widget that shows tons of information on your computer. It’s almost overwhelming, all the things it can show you! Best widget ever, definitely gets the download from me.

Rating: 5/5. Finally! A widget that belongs in the Dashboard!

IP Widget is a simple little Dashboard widget that tracks your internal and external IP, and refreshes constantly. It’s very convenient because it can be dragged into the Dashboard more than once, so you can track whichever IP addresses you want. Useful for networked computers.

Rating: 4.75/5. The Dashboard is always a bit clumsy, but IP Widget works extremely well anyway.
